In NFS cache #307 (at the edge of the controlled burn area you explore on Day 77) is a copy of the book ‘’The Accidental Savior’’ by fictional author Terrence L. Greenbriar. This is the father of the protagonist in Fullbright Studios’ game Gone Home.

One of the books that Henry brings with him from Colorado to read during the summer is “The Patriots”, the shadowy organization behind many of the events in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. The book is written by Donald Anderson, also known as the DARPA Chief from MGS1, and the cover art depicts a star-spangle revolver, clearly referencing the title of MGS4: Guns of the Patriots.

On Day 01, after dealing with the girls at Jonesy Lake, head north to Cache 305. Near the cache is a brook. Follow it to the water's edge and there'll be a turtle on a little rock in the shadow of a nearby tree.

The turtle can also be found while in the Aspen grove (which you will be sent through towards the end of Day 02).

From the grove, head into the tiny clearing on it's north side (with the single pine tree and large rock). On top of the rock at the base of the tree, you can find a small turtle that Henry can name and bring home to his lookout tower. It will keep the name he gives it for the remainder of the game - though if he decides that it’s name is “a secret,” it will only be referred to as his “Pet Turtle.”

While en route to Jonesy Lake, Henry can find a raccoon trying to open a granola bar in a small clearing north of the campsite meadow. The trash panda can be found here on the following days: 01, 03, 33.

In addition to this small clearing, if Henry visits the ruined cabin at Hawk’s Rest (to the south-east of Beartooth Point), he may be unlucky enough to be attacked by a raccoon living in the woodstove on the lower floor of the burned-out cabin.

If Henry waits too long before boarding the rescue chopper (around two minutes), the helicopter will leave and the game will end. The assumption is that Henry was left behind to die in the massive wildfire engulfing the region.

After exploring the hideout on Day 78, Henry can find a tape with a recording of the Old Shoshone song he found written in the old outhouse near Hawk’s Rest.

After dropping down onto the wide hill, head to the right (as opposed to the left, back towards cave 452). At the top of the hill is a small clearing on the left with the body of a dead elk. Behind the elk is a blocked trail (Henry can only pass this after collecting the Pulaski axe on Day 77). Here he’ll find the tape and the final note betwen Ron and Dave - if he’s collected all the other notes, he’ll have a conversation with Delilah about the two rangers.
